That sounds amazing! Until winter, I guess. Then, I’d be hurting. ? I’m pretty soft when it comes to the extreme cold.

How has the windshield film been working out for you now that you’re several months in?

Some of the best info I’ve received on this issue. I may take the plunge and see how it works out. Thanks!

Just had my windshield replaced yesterday after suffering a crack in the first 3 months I’ve had my R1S. Before taking delivery, I looked into windshield protective film, but everything I came across, including the professional installers, said it was terrible. Since the crack appeared, I’ve...

Mine will get to the target temp, but it just takes much longer in the frunk or in the spare tire storage compartment. I'm also in Mississippi, so my summer may be different than yours. I have found that the refrigerator does better in the frunk on cooler days, so outside temp definitely plays...

I have another BougeRV model in the 21 qt size. I played around with it in various locations in my R1S. Considering Rivian won’t sell me a compact spare, I did exactly as you mentioned for a brief period and put the refrigerator in that storage space. I found that, even with the cover in the...

Any update on when we can expect them to ship? I placed my order a couple weeks ago for the black version. Amazon is showing that it hasn't shipped yet. Just trying to get an idea if there are any major delays we should expect. Thanks.

Which cargo cover is this? Seems to fit really well.

I would love to know the answer to this as well. I tested my fridge again today after realizing the four water bottles that were in there yesterday could have played a role in keeping it from cooling quickly. Additionally, today was not as hot as it has been in my area, so I figured I would...

Did you get around to wiring the 12v in the frunk? If so, how is the fridge handling the ventilation and getting to the desired temp?

Update on the efficiency in the frunk. I have the BougeRV 21 qt. It usually cools quickly and to whatever temperature setting I select. However, after running it for hours today, set to 32, it never got there. The best it did was 39 degrees. And the frunk seemed hotter than it otherwise would...

I ran it off the black and red wires that are still present near the frunk light.

I coincidentally ran a 12v to my frunk today. So far, it seems that the fridge has been much slower to cool. I can’t check on it now to see how cold it’s gotten, but I plan to in about an hour or two. I’ll provide an update when I do.

Very good to know. I may try the All Purpose route when I get to 10k miles. The HF Daytona jacks do some real work and had my R1S pretty high. It was a little unsettling at first. ? One more thing I wanted to note to get your thoughts. Before rotating, I checked the tread depth. Surprisingly...

Hey, Mark. Did my first rotation a couple weeks ago using the same HF Daytona 3 ton floor jacks you use. As you have suggested, I put one on the front driver's side and one on the rear passenger's side. For some reason, I couldn't get the rear driver's side off the ground. I mean, I think it...

If you can reduce the price, I’m getting it for sure. I’ve been eying it since before I got my R1S, but I just can’t justify it. I get the reason for the price, as you’ve mentioned, so good luck with the thermoforming machine and becoming more efficient in manufacturing. I’ve purchased several...

Is this the 27 or 21 qt? If 27, the frunk closes without any issues? I have been putting the 21 qt BougeRV refrigerator in mine, but it’s a couple inches shorter. This one seems better in several ways, so I’m tempted to make the switch. As for the lack of 12v in the frunk, I need to get around...

Very nice install, and thanks for the writeup. I still don't have my running boards, but I hear they should ship mid to late July. I want to be ready with a plan. I had been considering the 4 inch hole method so I wouldn't have to take the panels off, but with the overlap of the jack point...

Did you end up doing this install? If so, any pics?
